May 06, 2014 18:56
Hitting out at Priyanka Gandhi for her "neech rajniti" remarks against Narendra Modi, the BJP today said Congress should seek an apology for this from the whole country.
Denying the counter charge of Congress that it was a ploy by BJP to use the caste card, BJP leader Arun Jaitley said, "Well, this is the word which she had used and particularly in the social context of India, the use of this word has to be avoided."
"When this word is used in relation to either the persona or the views of a person belonging to a backward community, you are giving rise to apprehensions and therefore if you claim to be a vocational participant in politics, then be sure of the vocabulary you use," he said.
